Resumen del Editor

More than 60 percent of young people who went to church as teens drop out after high school. This is a striking and alarming statistic. Now the bestselling author of unChristian trains his researcher's eye on these young believers. Where Kinnaman's first book unChristian showed the world what outsiders aged 16–29 think of Christianity, You Lost Me shows why younger Christians, ages 16–29, are leaving the church and rethinking their faith. Based on new research, You Lost Me shows pastors, church leaders, and parents how we have failed to equip young people to live in - but not of - the world and how this has serious long-term consequences. He then offers suggestions on how to help young people develop and maintain a vibrant faith that they embrace rather than toss away.

Easy to understand

Great book to understand the list of young souls of our community church. It is important to focus in their needs too

A Clarion Wake-Up Call To The Church

Would you listen to You Lost Me again? Why?

It was a real easy book to listen to especially to acquire the information. It was a part of my Automobile University curriculum and I loved it. Listening on my IPad I was able to bookmark thost parts of the book that I wanted to go back to.

What did you like best about this story?

The six reason why the Mosaics (ages 18-29) disconnect from the church. They were reasons I (as a Baptist pastor) had not considered but were quite valid. He also discusses the generational differences between the groups in the church and provides some good strategies on how to resolve those differences.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The section where Kinneman talks about information access. He lifts up an example of watching movies in the 70s vs the access to movies today. It was a stark contrast between boomers and mosaics.

Any additional comments?

The audible was, to me, so good that I went and got the e-book for my Kindle app.

PARAMOUNT for anyone over 20 to read and know!

As I wrote above, it is utterly essential to anyone who cares about the perishing faith of our youth, because if we can't understand why they're leaving the pews, what exactly do you plan to do to change it??? Paradigm shift in perspective if you let it be...

Mostly intriguing and highly useful

You Lost Me is an insightful and deep look at why 18-29 year olds leave church. Must reading for anyone interested in the future of the Church in America.

Informative

A must listen to book and a much needed book for all Christians of all ages.

Awesome audiobook

If you could sum up You Lost Me in three words, what would they be?

The best info from the best researchers and the best contributors. If you are trying to find out (like me) why our teens are stepping away from faith this book is give some of the best info i've heard (read)... Love it!!

What was one of the most memorable moments of You Lost Me?

understanding that the reason our teenagers start to leave the church is not just a quick one time fix.

In Depth

Thoughtful, well researched, challenging. A worthwhile read for those concerned about Christianity in the world.

Good standalone, but better _after_ "Unchristian"

great info presented with lots of solid data, the continuity of anecdotes/interviews is very helpful to frame the points that Kinneman makes.

A very thoughtful examination of a complex issue

The author gives some great insights to help us reach a generation of people struggling with peraonal faith.

Presents interesting points, somewhat biased

This book has a lot of good information and presents valid research studies and the results. I don’t have a problem with the studies or the results; they are organized and done correctly. I do have a problem with the subtle condescending message. The author analyzes the problems and presents solutions, but it’s hard for them to go 10min without bringing up how the church leadership needs to respond to the problem by basically telling/training/reframing the way people think to better match the church. While this is not exactly wrong, the constant reminder of it makes it sound like indoctrination, which the book seems to argue against. Maybe the audio book makes it seem disingenuous compared to reading the actual book. If you’re somewhat open minded on faith, you will have to disregard or ignore this aspect of the book. It is still worth listening to in my opinion.
